White and Black Children Must Not Meet
In the Halls of Learning.
Atlanta tGa.) Special.
The Glenn bill has passed the House of Rep.
resentatives. It will pass the Senate next week.
That Governor Gordon will sign it is a foregone
conclusion. and then the struggle over co-educa-
ton OF the races will begin. The Glenn bill
makes 1t penal offense for any teacher to per-
init q white child to attend coiored school, or q
colored child to attend a white school 1t is par
ticularly directed against the Atlanta University,
an institution for colored ,,eople managed by
the American Missionary Association. with an
endowment of $3.50 900 and which re-
Some OF its white teachers have had
their children pupils in the university. The
bill was the special order for to-day. and the
House crowded. William G. Glenn took
the floor After abiding to the evident desire OF
the negroes to bring about social equality and
the intermarriage of the races. he came to the
unfavorable effect on the North. He com-
bated the apprehension that this bill would
have bad effect on the South in the Presldeu-
tal election. He cared not who was President
if the white people of the South had to surrender
their civilization to effect the election.
Why should we care for the indignation of
province free State2 Are free men or
slavesa We should dare the indignation of the
whole world in the defense of our rights"
The colored members alone opposed the bill
One of them, Mr.. Crawford, like Joshua. who
was not deferred when the scouts brought
word that the Canaantes were mighty of
Sdior, Wouiu not De deferred by ODDS from con-
tending for the right. The University Of At
lanta had done much for the colored race before
the State aided it: Why not give it credit for
what it had done? He quoted Judge Hilyer az
saying that no student of that university had
every come before him charged with a crime.
The State of Georgia in a large degree
was responsible for the ignorance of the
negroes. II this bill passes not onlv
the Atlanta University but many
other schools will be crippled The So 900 given
to the Atlanta University was a part of the land
script of the United States and could not be ac-
copied by the State without giving it to that in
stitution. 1t was part of the contract. Why
enact such law this when the two races arc
getting along together SO well?
On the passage of the bill the vote stood
Yeas. 124; nays. 2. There is much feeling
among the negroes of the State against the bill
and many public meetings have been held to
protest against it. The first effect of the bill
will be to cripple the Atlanta fcolored) Unver-
sity which now has seven white students on it's
roll and which proposes fight in the United
States courts against State control.

from one end of the country to the other.
The Louisville Courier-Journal of yesterday
sadly remarks: GAS far as we can judge, the
Democratic losses are due to confidence and
Indifference in our party and unusually good
organization on the part of the Republicans.
The Republicans voted and the Democrats
stayed at home" The Commercial an indie
pendent paper of Republican tendencies, finds
in the result loud warning to the Kentucky
way things have been going in that State and
are determined on a change. 1t says this is a
message of the people through the polls:
1--WE have spoken out at last. From the
rank and file of your own army a murmur of
dissent has swelled into a storm of indignant
protest. There must be profession of peni-
tence. There must be an honest reformation.
There must be a change. Promises are as
unsubstantial as childs breath upon a mir
ror. We demand a new Constitution. We
demand reasonable rate of taxation. We de-
mand better State Legislature. We demand
less laws and more justice. We demand that
every fossil be drummed out of the service
and that every mossback be cashiered. We
demand good schools and more of them. We
demand reform of the entire aw-making
power, State and municipal"
There is healthy ring about that Another
long pull and strong pull like the last will
fetch Kentucky out of the Bourbon rut and
place her in the way of genuine progress and
reform

IT is announced that Jefferson Davis has
prepared an estimate and an historical study of
Calhoun, which will appear in New York
magazine next month. If there is one thing
that the world cares less about than another
it is the opinion entertained by a relic of a

a man whose memory no loyal citizen can
honor. The judgment of the magazines
editor in accepting such a contribution is not
to be commended.

THE result of the Kentucky election is a
great surprise. Four years ago the Democrats
carried the State by $4,000 majority; now
their majority will probably not exceed 5000.
There is a Republican gain of nearly 10000.

man. The answer Of the Indians to the propo-
sition of tho commissioners was decided
fusal They not willing to leave their
homes and go to strange country. Said Chap
pene: I'm speaking to your red children you
say that your Great Father loves them. His
conduct contradicts this. He askes his red chill
dren to leave their homes and go into the dark
West, and yet you say he loves them. Is this
the love of our Great Father7 Your children
cannot agree to your request We have no more
to sag TO you now" GovernorJennines declining
TO accept this decision final spoke again airotly
urging the original proposition and intima-
ing to the Indians that things would be made
very uncomfortable for them if they remained
where they were. He said Your Great Father
wishes to open big ditch through your country.
He will send many white men hero to do it.
Some of them may be bad men and give you
much trouble. The white men will not be sent
here to do the red children evil. bat if some of
them are bad men your Great Father cannot
help it." The big ditch" referred to was the
Wabash & Erie canal Several speeches were
also made by Hon. John W. Davis for the COM
missioners and by Chief Richardville for the In
dams. The commissioners urged their PROPOSE
ton with all the force and adroitness they could
command. but they were met and parried at
every point by Rchardville. who firm rs a rock
finally said:
my Father, this is impossible. You see
where the sun is It is useless to put off the
evil day until to- morrow; answer you
now. We know the value of our soil well
the white man tell Here the Great
Spirit has pitched our homes. Here
corn-helds and our cabins. From this soil and
these forests derive subsistence, and
here We will live and die. l repeat, will not
sell an inch of our lands. Our is al
ready given. Expect no other. It IS useless to
talk on that subject further. Father you know
what we have decided upon; your children want
their annuities They wish to go home, and so
do l; my wife wishes to me-"
This practically ended the council Though
tie proceedings were in good spirit nothing
accomplished. The report of the proceedings,
doubtless the only of the kind extant in In
diana, gives more of the speeches than we have
space for, but there was considerable repetition,
and we have given enough to show the spirit.
The next month. Oct 20, 1892 the same COM
missioners met the Pottawotamies at Camp Tip
pecanoe. near Tippecanoe battle ground, and
succeeded in making a treaty with them extin-
gushing their title to lands in that part of the
State. Other commissioners were appointed TO
renew the negotiation with the Miamis, and
their titles finally extngushed several
years later. 1t may be added they were shame
fully swindled.

Worse Off than Indiana.

Philadelphia Press.
That is very queer complaint which the
chairman of the Democratic committee of In
diana makes that the President has given the
Democrats of that State nothing but foreign
missions. There are some States that would be
delighted ii they had received much as In
diana in this respect In Pennsvlvania the
Democrats have nothing to speak of. When the
second largest delegation to the last national
convention was traded to Cleveland it sup
posed it would realize Cabinet position. one or
two first class foreign missions and bureau ap-
pointments enough to give everybody chance.
But the delegation appears to have been given
away and the Democrats have received nothing
whatever for it. And yet the chairman of the
Democratic State committee is making
fuss about it, He hopes to get local Office for
himself after he has gone through another de-
feat

the race line. The writer of this has seen in
